Wei Wensheng is the trusted minister of the Holy Lord and is very supportive of the Holy Lord's radical reforms. Zhou Fashang still knew about this, so he immediately thought of a possibility. In order to protect himself, Wei Wensheng did this atrocity in order to draw a clear line between himself and Yang Su, Yang Xuangan, and to prove his loyalty to the Holy Lord.

Of course, this may not have been done by Wei Wensheng, or it was not done by Wei Wensheng's original intention. He was framed by others. So who would frame Wei Wensheng? Guanlong local nobles? It is impossible. No matter what the local nobles in Guanlong want to use this mutiny to achieve, they will not cross their bottom line, and will not commit such atrocities to form a life-and-death feud with Yang Xuangan, so that conservative forces will kill each other. This will not only give others a waste of money, but also damage their own interests; they will not deliberately frame the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. This will intensify the conflict between the two sides and cause the conservative forces to be revenge by the Holy Lord and the Reformers after losing Yang Xuangan's strength, which will not be worth the loss.

According to this calculation, in Xijing, only Wei Wensheng can do this, but Wei Wensheng will not lose his mind. Otherwise, the Xijing army will not be on the way to assist Dongdu, so there is only one possibility left. Wei Wensheng encountered huge resistance in the matter of supporting Dongdu. Facing the unification of Dongdu, the storm may be lost, the country may collapse, and the great cause of unification may collapse. He had no choice but to do this trick to completely "pull Yu Jing" the local aristocratic group in Guanlong, push them to the opposite of Yang Xuangan, and push them to the opposite of the Holy Lord and the Central Committee. They either have to fight against each other, or compromise and work together, and there is no other way.

It is obvious that after learning about this amazing "ravacy", the province knew that Yang Xuangan was going crazy. After going crazy, Yang Xuangan was able to do anything. He might destroy the Dongdu, or he might enter Guanzhong at all costs. In short, the situation in the Dongdu is in danger of being out of control. At this moment, even if the Grand Canal is opened, the Second Eastern Expedition cannot continue. Since the Second Eastern Expedition will inevitably be terminated, the Grand Canal will be accepted for a period of time. I believe that after the King of Qi cut off his mind to enter Beijing to seize the imperial throne, he would aim to defraud more political interests. Regardless of whether the Holy Lord satisfies him, he would not dare to do anything and dare to turn against the Holy Lord. The first one to compromise is definitely the King of Qi, so the Grand Canal will soon be unblocked and the expeditionary army can return safely, but the return period is delayed.

After thinking about it, Zhou Fashang resolutely put down his worries about the future. The future is very uncertain. The Saint Lord and the bigwigs of the Central Master are all masters of power struggle. No matter how difficult the situation in the future, as long as the rebellion is quelled and the political situation is stable, they will find a way to reverse the situation. Therefore, for him, the commander of the Guards, the most urgent task is to quell the rebellion and stabilize the situation in the Eastern Capital. This is his duty and his responsibility.

"Liuwan stopped at Ouyu, and rumors stopped at the wise man." Zhou Fashang shook his hand coldly and said in a low tone, "Since there is no definite evidence, it is not credible. However, it should be certain that Dongdu is in danger. Otherwise, the province would not make two completely opposite decisions within two days. However, I believe that the smooth flow of the Grand Canal is equally important. If the expeditionary army is defeated again because of food and grass, we will not redeem our crimes even if we die. Therefore, I suggest that the troops are divided into two groups, one to the north of the Dahe River. The King led the army to continue to attack Liyang, Huangtai Duke (Cui Hongsheng) and Chen Liushou assisted him; the south of the Dahe River, and the Navy led the Navy to the Dongdu, while Shunzheng Duke (Dong Chun) led the army to Xingyang to open the Tongji Canal. This can not only support the Dongdu, but also take into account the Grand Canal, and ensure that everything is safe."

The smile on King Qi's face disappeared instantly, his eyes showing anger.

Zhou Fashang directly denied the King of Qi's plan to suppress the rebellion, which was equivalent to an open and ruthless slap in the face. From the perspective of King of Qi, this is a shame, how can you bear it?

"Mr. Qiao Gong, there is trouble in the east, why can't Gu go to save him?" King Qi asked sternly, "Gu finally seized the opportunity to suppress the rebellion and make achievements. Why did you deliberately stop him?

Zhou Fashang was not afraid and looked at him coldly, "If the king does not want to repeat the same mistake, he should know when to advance and when to retreat. The consequences of insisting on his own will be very serious. Can the king afford it?"

King Qi was "slapped in the face" by Zhou Fashang, and his face turned red with anger, but he couldn't speak a rebuttal. He was extremely embarrassed and turned away in anger.

The King of Qi left in anger, and the atmosphere in the big tent became more relaxed.

Zhou Fashang looked at everyone, then stopped on the faces of Dong Chun and Li Shanheng, "What do you think of someone's suggestions? The situation is critical, so you can't delay it, just speak freely."

The King of Qi left, and the ones representing the King of Qi were Dong Chun and Li Shanheng. Zhou Fashang had known in Cui Hongsheng's letter that Dong Chun and Li Shanheng had forcibly "kidnapping" the King of Qi to Li Yang, so Zhou Fashang didn't care about the King of Qi's decision at all. He only cared about the views of Dong Chun and Li Shanheng, especially Dong Chun, who needed Dong Chun's strong support on the south bank of the Great River, otherwise he would be very likely to fall into the dilemma of fighting on the third line after blocking the Great River.

Dong Chun stroked his long beard, thought for a moment, and asked, "Ask Mr. Qiao, how can the navy rescue Dongdu?"

Dong Chun understood the meaning of Zhou Fashang. Zhou Fashang was determined to stabilize the King of Qi and "bury" the King of Qi in Liyang, so he could only try his best to "cooperate" with the King of Qi. If the King of Qi wanted to control Liyang to control the Grand Canal of the North and South, then it was natural that Dong Chun would rescue Xingyang and let Dong Chun control the Tongji Canal to ensure the interests of the King of Qi. However, in this way, Zhou Fashang could concentrate his efforts to rescue the Dongdu, and he could kill from Luokoucang, Heishi Pass, and Yanshi to the city of Dongdu. He could form a joint attack with the Xijing army and quickly reverse the crisis in Dongdu. The rapid easing of the Dongdu crisis and the rapid reduction of the storm would be very unfavorable to the King of Qi's "blacklist" the Holy Lord and the Central, which would affect the King of Qi's profit-making goals.

"I want to know where the Xijing army has now been?" Zhou Fa did not answer directly, but asked a key question. In the urgent situation, Zhou Fa did not have any channels to obtain information about the Dongdu battlefield and provinces as soon as possible, but King Qi could, King Qi was "eye and ears" about Long people, Cui Hongsheng could, Cui Hongsheng had the advantage of Shandong people.

Dong Chun hesitated for a moment and said truthfully, "According to the news we received, on June 21, the Xijing army left Tongguan, and if they travel a hundred miles a day, and Yang Xuangan did not set up a formation to block the attack on the Mian line, he should have arrived at the Hangu Pass yesterday. According to Heyang news, on June 23, Gao Dugong (Li Gongting) still stood firm in Dengjin, while Qin King (Yang Hao) stayed firm in Mengjin. Yang Xuangan cut off the connection between the Dongdu and Heyang, but did not decisively take down Dengjin and Mengjin and cut off the Dahe passage. The purpose should be to lure the Xijing reinforcements into the Dongdu battlefield and fight to the death with him. If he wins, there will be no obstacles to going west to Guanzhong."

Zhou Fashang nodded repeatedly and said slowly, "If Yang Xuangan lured the enemy into deep and wanted to fight the Xijing army at the Dongdu City, he would not block the Xijing army at the Hangu Pass."

Dong Chun nodded slightly, "Perhaps, the Tonggui Duke has approached the Dongdu City today and is about to fight to the death with Yang Xuangan."

"It won't be so fast." Zhou Fashang shook his head and looked disdainful. "If the Duke of the Tonggui wants to bring the Xijing army to the Dongdu battlefield, it will probably take a lot of effort.

Everyone looked at each other and understood it. No matter how means Wei Wensheng used to coerce the local nobles of Guanlong, or how much compromise the local nobles of Guanlong would make, one thing is beyond doubt, that is, the local nobles of Guanlong would never give up their established goals easily. They would try every means to delay the speed of the Xijing army's aid, give Yang Xuangan enough time to attack Dongdu, and give other reinforcements enough time to enter the Dongdu battlefield, just wait for the Dongdu to kill the flesh and blood, and the "snipe and clam fight" has become increasingly fierce, and it has destroyed the Dongdu. They have already "fishermen benefited" and the Xijing army will appear. It is really too difficult to rely on the Xijing army to save the Dongdu, and it is purely a luxury.

Cui Hongsheng sighed, "Fortunately, the navy came in time. As long as Duke Qiao rushed into the Eastern Capital first, it would be difficult for the Xijing army to delay it."

Zhou Fashang glanced at Cui Hongsheng, knowing that he was intending to test him, so he stopped hiding it and said bluntly, "The navy has limited troops. He must block the waterway of the river and enter the Tongji Canal to threaten the Dongdu and restrain Yang Xuangan, and at the same time attack Hulao Pass to cut off the connection between the Dongdu and Xingyang, and cooperate with Shunzheng Gong (Dong Chun) to encircle and annihilate the rebels on the battlefield in Xingyang, so he will fall into the dilemma of fighting on the third line. Therefore, the water

The division has no ability to kill the city of Dongdu. If the navy really wins continuously and is unstoppable, it must be Yang Xuangan's plan to lure the enemy. If a certain army goes deeper, it will be in danger of being wiped out by the entire army. At that time, not only will he not dare to approach Dongdu, but he will retreat to the river, waiting for subsequent reinforcements, or waiting for the Xijing army to enter the Dongdu, and form a front-and-back attack with it, and attack Yang Xuangan together."

Dong Chun and Li Shanheng looked at each other and smiled knowingly. The Jiangzuo people were Jiangzuo people. At the critical moment, even if they didn't stab the Guanlong people, they wouldn't be able to do this. Zhou Fashang was considered to be the overall situation. It can be foreseeable that when Zhou Fashang commanded the navy to block the Dahe waterway, and the soldiers entered the Tongji Canal and directly killed Luokoucang, which directly threatened Yang Xuangan, the province would put pressure on the Xijing army. Under heavy pressure, Wei Wensheng would do everything possible to coerce the local nobles of Guanlong to make concessions, allowing the Xijing army to take the lead in entering the Dongdu battlefield.

Zhou Fashang turned his eyes to Dong Chun, "I wonder if Shunzheng Duke can move to Xingyang and fight the rebels with the navy to resolve the danger of Tongjiqu?"

"As Qiao Gong wished." Dong Chun made a promise immediately, "Tomorrow, I will lead my army to Xingyang to quell the rebellion."

Zhou Fashang turned his eyes to Li Shanheng again, "If you take down Liyang, the Yongji Canal will be unobstructed, and Liyang Cang can be more or less rescued, so I would like to ask Wencheng Gong to think carefully. If the troops are not strong enough, it is too difficult to attack the city. Should I ask Huangtai Gong (Cui Hongsheng) and Chen Liushou to move to Li Yang and fight together?"

Li Shanheng refused, "In three days, the king will be able to conquer Li Yang."
